Was expecting fine dining restaurant...but once we arrived & realised it was just a takeaway with few tables, it was a bit of a shock! But the food was fantastic. One of the best vegetatian pizzas i've had. Service was fantastic, reasonably priced. Definately recommend a visit

We're staying in the area and fancied a pizza, I'm so glad we ordered from here, I could tell good quality ingredients were used and the dough was amazing, very light. The tomato sauce on the pizza wasn't bitter like a lot of places. Highly recommend!

Super friendly staff. We were pleasantly surprised to discover they had vegan and gluten free options being 'townies'. Super accomodating and are introducing their own vegan menu soon, however the chef made myself the most beautiful vegan calzone and the vegan garlic bread was the nicest I've ever had! The veggie pizza was easily made vegan and the chef came to ask me what I thought and was eager to listen to my suggestions for vegan pasta dishes. Compliments to the chef with delicious dough and great size pizzas! A great little place with funky music too.

Two cancelled just eat orders in 3 days. No answers to the phone several times when I called neither. My Mrs was persistent for this food so I drove 20 minutes to get there, to then be told I have to wait 45 minutes. The response I got to explaining the above is "we're busy". The Chinese I ordered last night gave my my food in 15 minutes on New year's Eve. Different food I know but the expectation was set and met.There was nothing else equivalent that was available in the area so I decided to wait. I got back 45 minutes later to a 10 minute wait where I was ignored by staff, but eventually I was able to ask somebody where my pizza was and I was told that it just went in the oven and that it's another 10 minutes. So, in total, 20 minutes more than the 45 minutes that I was originally told.Later, I was offered a drink while I waited. In this time, I was literally seeing them pick up the phone in front of me. If things are too busy, set that expectation on your socials or on a sign on the door so your customers know what they'll get.The staff were not very sympathetic at all, it almost seemed as if there was an arrogance about the quality of pizza and that I should be willing to wait.In total, I spent 40 minutes commuting and another 65 waiting. Having now driven home and had the two pizzas, antipasti and rosemary fries, I can safely say that the food was average (at best) and that it wasn't worth the hassle or the ridiculously long wait!I did ask myself what it would take to win me over and the bar may have been unrealistically high, though I can again say that this could have been prevented or limited by the expectations that this business could have set initially. If I'm back in the area soon I'll end up driving much further away for a completely different experience.If anyone's looking to open a competing restaurant nearby, the formula is simple:1. Make a simple menu2. Answer the phone3. Update all your digital shop fronts accordingly.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Had pizza one night and lasagne a few nights after. Only a small place to eat in, so advise booking beforehand. Staff very friendly, good size portions and very reasonably priced. Will definitely use again when in the area.

Friendly Staff, Tasty Pizza, and prawns were nicely seasoned. 12" Pizzas, would recommend sharing if your not a big eater. We would definitely go back, enjoyed every mouthful.

Unable to get them on the phone so drove there,, Qued for 25mins. Stood outside for an hour and 15mins, when told it would be 30 mins.. really should tell people if its going to be that long... when we asked how long left on the order, we were told it was just being cut... arrived 15 mins after that...πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.Suggest you order at 5 if you want delivery or to eat before breakfast. Got it back to eat and my Mrs took one bite and threw it in the bin... to be honest, hers didn't look that appetising... really really disappointed for the price tag and the enormous wait..I hate to leave a bad review but,not happy at allπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž
